It arrived last night.  Took nearly a week.  And who knows where it had been in the meantime.  Surely someone was making money off it.  But nobody ever said it would be easy to get money out here in Cameroon.  That's why they call it an unsafe banking country.  It wasn't until Dan went to our bank in the U.S. and discussed the problem with them that the funds finally showed up here.  If they hadn't shook the branches, the money probably still wouldn't be here.

We've paid the rent.  Paid wages for our five employees.  Did a massive shopping.  Francis is busy cooking up a storm.  The freezer is getting filled up.  We know beyond all doubt that this is all about our plans to go out to Eyene to bring the gospel once again to these people who are lost in their sins.  Why else would funds that the team sent not arrive in a day as normal, not in two days, but in nearly a week, and that after some effort on the other side of the big pond.  Just a reminder that we are in a battle.  But we are on the winning team, so we move forward by faith, trusting in the All Sufficient One.
